On May 18th the R.A. played the 2nd Battalion Gloucestershire Regiment and 
were again successful. The scores were not large, but the match was none the 
less interesting. We seem likely to have a good team this year, some of the 
young entry being very promising. 
The Inspector-General of Ordnance, Lieut.-General Markham, R.A., accom- 
panied by Major H. C. Sclater, R.A., has lately paid us a visit of inspection, and 
was favoured with perfect weather for going round the works. 
There have been numerous changes here amongst the officers. We were sorry to 
lose Lieut.-Colonel and Mrs. Bingham, who have gone to Melbourne where he takes 
up an important appointment. Major Perrott has succeeded him as Commandant 
of the School of Gunnery here. Major A. H. Callwell has left on exchange with 
Major Talbot. Major Kent and Captain Baldwin have come to the depot, 
Captain Tawney to 21 Company in place of Captain Worsley gone to Malta, 
Major Nicholls and Captain Stanford replace Major Hickman and Captain Lyon 
in 15 Gompany. Major Fegen has taken Lieut.-Colonel Western’s place in 17 
Company. 
15 Company goes to Lydd on 19th June next for its annual practice, and Lieut.- 
Colonel Dalton goes from here to Lydd to command the Second Division in the 
practice camp.
